not in California. Different states have different laws.

An excellent question because when I was growing up and on the process of obtaining my citizenship, I vaguely remember something like a convicted felon looses his/her right to vote. I never really knew the fact.

It varies state by state. In many states a convicted felon who is out of jail and off parole can vote. In others once they have committed a felony they are prohibited from voting.

yes, once a felon has did his time and not on parole or probation he is allowed to vote, some states refused to let ex felons vote until it was taken to the supreme court, the courts ruled if you tax the man you have got to let him vote if not it would amount to taxation without representation," unconstitutional"

Thank God no. However the lib's tried to get that passed last election cycle. Ever wonder why THEY are always the ones trying to get the illegals, and prisoners to vote? Guess they know how the vote would go......

Nope. Can't serve on a jury and can't serve in the military, either.
